Mr. Speaker, the government is still not being transparent about its decision to invoke the Emergencies Act. CSIS told us that the convoy was not a threat to national security. We know the convoy did not fit the definition of a national emergency in the act. The government claims to have based its decision on one single document, an obscure legal opinion that the Minister of Justice is hiding. As a lawyer, the minister might be bound by solicitor-client privilege, but his client, the government, is not. Are we honestly supposed to believe the government would hide a legal opinion that provided ample justification for invoking the act?
